Kolkata, May 15 (IBNS): Trinamool Congress supremo and West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday evening said the ending campaigning a day ahead of schedule was the Election Commission's reward for Narendra Modi for smashing a statue of Iswar Chandra Vidyasagar.

"For breaking Vidyasagar's statue, the Election Commission has rewarded Narendra Modi," Mamata said at a news conference on Wednesday evening after the poll panel's notification.

Saying it was a "terrible conspiracy", Mamata said she had not felt so humiliated ever in her life.

"We were not even given an opportunity to speak," she said. "You cannot take over an elected government, Election Commission."

Mamata appealed to everyone to vote against the BJP.
